An ACT resource guide has been put together to help parents and students better prepare for the ACT assessment, as well as to better understand their ACT results. The guide should also help your child as they prepare for retaking the ACT during the summer or next fall. You can access the resource guide through the following link: http://act.dobyns-bennett.com/

Nomination applications are now available for the Roan Scholars Program at ETSU. The Roan is one of ETSU’s most distinguished merit scholarships, covering full tuition and fees and providing allowances for both room and board and textbooks. Just as significantly, throughout their time at ETSU, Roan Scholars have access to special workshops and seminars, internships, and travel.

Scholars are selected based on leadership ability, intellectual curiosity, strong character, and evidence of a physically-active lifestyle.

Applications are available here online or in the Scholarship Box in the Counseling Office.
